Attention All Parents who see this:

The previous short stories are a sample of the wonderful, alarming and zany child safety stories we've been sent. SkyKing Safety is in search of fun, funny or important (not always funny...) family stories about child safety. We often incorporate these stories into our child safety programs (and hope to incorporate them into our website) to lighten them up or highlight a specific safety issue. If you have a funny or important story about a "near miss" or an "Oh my gosh!" incident with your young child you'd like to share, we'd love to hear about it. And who knows, your child's ingenuity and imagination may help other families get a laugh and learn more about child safety.

All stories sent to us are accepted with our sincerest thanks. We reserve the right to share or re-print any or none of the stories sent to us. This offer is an opportunity to share your funny story to a wider audience and help other parents. No financial incentive is being offered or will be considered. All stories become property of SkyKing Safety. We produce child safety program which are taught at three major Hospitals in the Seattle area. Feel free to contact us with any additional questions.

Please forward to any friends with children who might get a chuckle and a smile out of this.
